	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: C. G. Driesell Basically Unlike Mortal Men
		The main reason is coach Charles G. Driesell, known to the people as Lefty, who does not come out on the floor when the team comes out for pre-game warmups, but stages his own highly personalized entrance several minutes later, with his assistants trailing deferentially a few steps behind.
		Driesell parades solemnly to midcourt, bows his head, and raises both arms, his fingers extended in a Churchillian V-for-Victory sign.
		Victories have been none too plentiful around College Park in past years, and Driesell, the "messiah of Maryland basketball," is being depended upon to bring the Terrapins to a position of national power in college basketball.
